This summer we celebrate Julia Child's centenary by combining food and music. Our Loggia concerts highlight the pleasures of French Impressionism.
Remember the magic of Midnight in Paris and dream of your options! Take in the music, create an al fresco picnic worthy of Manet (why not one of Julia’s recipes?) or select an elegant three course pre-concert Julia-inspired dinner at The Huntington Tea Room.

Introduction and Allegro
Claude Debussy
String Quartet
Our summer honoring Julia Child begins with masterpieces of La belle époque - the siren songs of the harp-infused dances by Debussy to the elegance of Ravel’s Introduction & Allegro. Jolivet’s neo-classicism is a tour-de force for flute, harp and strings, and the concert ends with the Symbolist visions of Debussy’s String Quartet.

Chansons madécasses
César Franck
Quintet for Piano & Strings
Welcome to a true Midnight in Paris concert, so take a trip along the Seine! Debussy evokes the absinthe world of poet Paul Verlaine with his impressionist Suite bergamasque. Milhaud’s raucous La création du monde is heard here in the composer’s piano quintet version, its faux jazz intoxicated with strings. The steamy eroticism of Ravel’s Chansons madécasses is followed by the French romantic passion of César Franck’s Quintet.

The haze of Asia lingers over the imagination of Debussy and Ravel. This concert brings their Parisian dream world of the East into direct contact with the fortunately past colonial world of Indochine. Played seductively by its leading interpreter Vân Ánh Vanessa Võ, the sound of the Vietnamese dan bau will echo over the Huntington Loggia and Lawn as Southwest continues its deep musical ties to Vietnam.

The final summer concert starts with the charming masterpiece Ma mère l’oye (Mother Goose) coupled with the pastoral French boating music of Debussy. De Falla’s fiery Siete canciones populares españolas finds the ideal interpreter in soprano Suzanna Guzmán. After intermission the surrealist world explodes in Milhaud’s Le boeuf sur le toit, followed by a medley of Edith Piaf songs which wrap up our tribute to our French Chef from Pasadena, Julia Child.
